[Desire General] street675:
Using my desire over 10 months now. I'm still satisfied with it's performance.

It 's my first htc phone.

I've had some doubts about build quality before, because that was told to me.

I can say that i'm suprised. Beeing always in my pocket without case or screen protection, it is still looking like new.

It is still fast en reliable.

If i would by a new phone, would be desire again or maybe thinking about desire S.
[Desire General] isaruku:
my fist android

From a long line of old symbian nokias i finally decided to make a hole in my budget and to get a new phone. As i was keeping a close eye on Android and the HTC Desire for some time i got that phone.

It was a very good phone with it's stock froyo, and know it's an excellent phone with the Oxygen rom.

As some of the other members say, i do not see any good reason to upgrade maybe until dual-core HTC's come out.
[Desire General] midnightflash:
The normal Desire is still up-to-date. But when the Desire S will be out there in the wild it will be the better one. Still that quite compact design, whithout the week points the original archives (internal mem, multitouch).

The cost-benefit analysis will show up that the older Desire will still be ok for a long time even bought new.
[Desire General] Yekxmerr:
I bought my desire 3 months ago, and the only thing that annoys me is the 2-point touchscreen... Multi-touch is a must to a device like this but we can't have everything so apart from that is the best phone i've ever had ! Desire S is cool but in my opinion at the moment we're between a generation change so next stop is dual core, and desire s is single core. I will change my phone next year probably to a htc dual-core that will be announced this year.

My good old desire never lets me down !
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
I agree with everyone here. It has been an amazing phone. Its handled mass rom fllashhing and crazy overclocking and its handled it brilliantly. Had no problems with it at all. Rather have this than a Nexus, but I would like a DHD because the bigger screen.

I got a Galaxy Tab 4 months ago and since then my Desire has been neglected as it doesn't compete with the Tab. Recently got back into using it and I've realised why I fell in love with it.

[Desire General] EraqEE:
I suggest you stick around with the HTC Desire till the end of the year or whenver Dual Core phones are released. The new models don't offer much of an advantage and I heard the HTC Desire HD has worst voice quality sound than the Desire....... The voice quality sound on the Desire is pretty terrible so I don't know how HTC managed to make it even worst with the Desire HD.
[Desire General] bexwhitt:
hopefully it will still work

I am not one for changing my phone when something new comes out and unless something breaks it will have to last me 2 years. The worry I have is will the microusb connecter last that long. Supposedly is it designed for up to 10,000 cycles of insertion but my niece has some sort of nokia with this connecter and its a struggle after 14 months to get it to charge (I have had to give her my htc lead and charger as it is the only one that works).

I don't like capitative keys, I had the ipod that had them and it was god awful to use , too sensitive. So the desire s is a step back from my pov

The desire is a nice phone and does me very well thanks
[Desire General] Reason4444:
Also,, we must notice quite usefull optical trackpad..

Especially, it's definetely must have for link selection while web browsing...
[Desire General] Mgzkun:
just get the Desire, it should be quite cheap to get right now, even a 2nd hand one-contract free as long as it still have warranty.

also the Desire S has S-LCD, meh,
[Desire General] koffeemachine:
Not yet...

I don't think I will upgrade until I see a quad core, 3d screen with 3d camera and built in 1080p led projector :)
[Desire General] de Wolfe:
It is still the best. The only issue is the lack of internal storage. But well, rooted + CM7 + S2E + CM7 HBOOT = nearly perfect!

But I'm really thinking about replacing it with a Desire S - it's made of fantastic materials, looks ok and has the perfect size of our beloved Desire. Mainly I want to replace because I WANT MORE INTERNAL STORAGE, A2SD+ etc. aren't perfect.
[Desire General] Mushubanane:
Yup, still one of the best around, especially for those like me who love hardware buttons.
[Desire General] fangthorn:
I wasn't sure there was a place in my life for something more than just a phone, so I dipped my toe into the smartphone market about 7 months ago with the HTC Wildfire.

I loved it, but I knew that it was just a starter phone and that I would be upgrading if this whole "computer-in-your-pocket" thing caught my fancy. Well it did so I got myself a used Desire off eBay for under £180, (which I thought was a bargain), and havn't regretted it one bit!
[Desire General] Igory:
I'm pondering the same thing as the OP. Right now i'm thinking Desire or Defy. Not sure yet. :)
[Desire General] richardmugford:
Well the Desire S looks like it's coming in April? Not seen it available as a contract phone from my usual source mobilephonesdirect.

But then it would seem from the previous comments the original Desire may be the one to go for anyway.

I think she will definately go for an HTC though since she has seen mine.

If looks to have plently of life in it yet and will be a BIG improvement on what she has currently. :D
[Desire General] chrismast:
might be helpful for some people, me personally, I never used the trackpad till now (got my Desire since Sep. 2010)
[Desire General] richardmugford:
Totally agree mate. Although I have a cover for mine which keeps it in good condition.

I bought some of those Martin Fields covers for mine and they were great initially but I wore mine out. You could clearly see where I had been 'stroking' :D the screen the most. So have ended up using it without any screen covers.

I reckon it has another 12 months of usage easily.
[Desire Themes and Apps] adz63:
Hi peep would anyone be willing to make a theme for the redux ROM , i cant find any on here , and if other asop themes would fit i dont exactly like em (no offence to theme makers just not my cup of tea )... maybe a neon theme would be good if there are any clever clogs willing to make one

eBay's selling the B&N NookColor for $200 after $50 in instant coupons. If anyone's interested.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
The disclaimer on ebay says the coupon expires march 3rd. Is it truly today only?
[Nook Color General] funkyreuben:
Yes it is today only.
[Nook Color General] animeguy:
hmm intersting..I just bought one at best buy a week ago.. wonder if i should buy one and just return it to bestbuy..all depends on timing thou..gonna go look up bb return policy..but i save 50 bucks..

thanks OP for the heads up
[Nook Color General] OneStepAhead:
best buy wont refund you cash, and probably wont even give you store credit without a receipt.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
Just to be clear, where does it say today only? Here's the expiration date of the author from the page itself:

Terms & Conditions

The offer will expire at 8:00:00 AM PT on March 3, 2011. Discount applies to the purchase price (excluding .shipping, handling, and taxes) of a single item on eBay.com up to the maximum amount specified on the coupon.... etc etc
[Nook Color General] animeguy:
yeah i forgot to add a key sentence in my original post.. I bought a NC a week ago.. so i was thinking of buying this to save 50 then when it comes in return to best buy. but it all depends on there return policy.

EDIT: I would have to get it by friday and return it that day in order for it to work.. thats to close..damn
[Nook Color General] openallnight:
just FYI you cannot buy from BN and return to Best Buy. they have different ISBNs. Unless I misunderstood your statement, it wont work.

Edit:never mind. I think you were talking abt returning the first one since its still in its return period. thats 30 days for Best Buy and 14 days for BN.
[Nook Color General] fwdixon:
Thanks for the clarification. All the listings I saw had expiration times on them sometime yesterday, hence the "today only" in the OP.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
Yeah, later I saw the countdown timers. Must be a pressure tactic. Call now! Operators are standing by! 10....9....8.....7....
[Nook Color General] fwdixon:
Lol. My favourite are the commercials "call in the next ten minutes..." as if they know what time the commercial aired.
[Nook Color General] wgarrido:
I ordered one! Can't wait, too bad UPS doesn't deliver on Sat, would be a good weekend project.

[Nexus One Accessories] GldRush98:
No, that is SDHC. The Nexus One uses MicroSDHC
[Nexus One Accessories] Logic_:
The real question here for me is: would class 10 make any difference?

As a matter of fact, would class 6, 4, 2?

In which case?

Forgive my ignorance in this, I don't know exactly how it is the nexus processes the data between the FAT32 storage and the android flash file system (is it ext3 or smth?)
[Nexus One Accessories] Obsy:
I think class 6 would be enough
[Nexus One Accessories] GldRush98:
I wouldn't go below a class 4. Class 6 or 8 preferably.
[Nexus One Accessories] husnain17:
of course..
[HD2 General] Digital Outcast:
Do any of you know where to get "spare" parts for these devices? I recently came across an HD2 with a broken USB connector and I need to get a new circuit board and hardware buttons... just wondering if any of you knew of any sources?
[HD2 General] KevinNolan:
Same problem here. Broken usb and answer and return buttom broken. Htc charges to much for repairing..... Bought a desire hd instead.... Good luck searching.
[HD2 General] mattfmartin:
Best bet would be to hit up ebay
[HD2 General] Robson:
just to add on this. type "faulty" or "damaged" for mobile phones and you'll come up with a host of devices that're being sold cheap. you can then further filter it down to htc and you should get a few. saw one the other day with the volume keys malfunctioning.
[HD2 General] dodietheshorters:
Any of you guys still got your old, broken HD2 lying around?

I damaged the one of the pins on my wifi module after replacing the touch-screen digitizer, now I'm only getting 10-20% signal strength over wifi.

I can't find the part anywhere and wondered if anyone would be up for selling theirs, either the module or whole broken phone?
[HD2 General] zero_x3:
My screen stopped responding a few days ago. Pretty sure its a HW problem since I've flashed to different working ROMs and it doesn't respond to anything. I'm still debating if I should invest in fixing it or a new phone. If the price is right, I'd be willing to sell it. PM me

[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Hi, welcome to the forum!

It can be massively overwhelming for new users here to know what is acheivable and what isn't, especially if you're not too familiar with the OS on the device you are using.

I would suggest getting to know the forum and learning which sections are relevant to you first. Browse around for a while and read some guides. What really helped me was to focus on the 'Post your Home Screen', screenshot type threads where people showed what they had done with their own phones. This way you can see what is acheivable and start leaning how to get there yourself.

FAQ/Guides/Wiki stickies are a good resource and are found in most of the forums.
[General Questions and Answers] htrx:
Well for starters decide if you want to root your phone or not - read about what's that about, how does it "liberate" your device (AND YOU) from the tyranny of evil phone produces, just how badly you can break your device (the warnings), etc. After that you can begin trying different ROMs (custom firmwares) for your device, until you find the one, that suits your needs. Then learn BASH and begin writing scripts, hacking the living hell out of your device...

...or just use a custom "launcher" app, if you literally want your phone to look different. You can find some at the Market.

PS: Either way remember, the search bar is your friend. Before posting check if anybody has asked the same question - at least 95% of cases you'll find more about your problem/question, just by searching.

Using HyperDroid GBX v7.0

Build GRH78C

HD2

It seems that the status bar shows 3G full bars, then changes go no bars, then to H, back to 3G two bars etc. This is causing calls to drop and chatter.

I can set it to 2G only and is stable for calls but data is very slow. 2-300kbs.

Any ideas.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
It's killing me to post this but I searched diligently here and at adroidcentral and could not find it. I searched on quite a few term, but they were pretty generic terms like framework, notification bar, Quick Panel etc. I can't recall anymore specifi terms.

Pretty recently last couple of days adrynalyne posted about replacing the skinny all black quick panel with the ones from an EB01 ROM (Or perhaps from some other source).

If someone could point me to that, I'd be grateful. Loving SC 2.6, but this old man's eyes net bigger icons in the quick panel.

Thanks is advance

Update: Still searching and having some luck with finding posts where the suggestion was to install a theme but this is not the solution i'm looking for.

[Android Software Development] elegos:
Hello!

First of all, thanks to all you repliers!

I'd really like to know a few things creating a ROM:

1. how can I create an update.zip starting from a system.img? (I know how to sign) In case can I simply install the img and then push /system changes, like root or busybox?

2. how can I install busybox manually? Can I create a script which does the job for me (i.e. busybox --install command at first boot then delete the script itself), avoiding me to write loads of symlinks?

3. when I've created an update.zip, is it easy to root the ROM? I mean, just push su and SuperUser.apk? Or I need a particular boot.img?

Thanks :)
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Clockwork Recovery won't install system image files for some reason. You'll need to dump the yaffs2 filesystem then zip it up into the update.zip, then use an updater-script to set unix permissions (zip doesn't preserve these). Also, there's no need to sign the update.zip. It's only meaningful to the device's firmware if it is signed by the device's manufacturer.

Certainly. You can add a script and call it from updater-script during the install.

Boot image is irrelevant to a properly rooted system. Just adding SuperUser should be sufficient.
[Android Software Development] elegos:
That's cool!

1. as of the system.img, I see there is a system folder too - is that just enought zipping it?

2. may you please tell me how to call a script within an edify updater-script please?

3. thanks :)
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I don't understand. You have a system.img and a system folder? In what? What are you starting from? If you use a zipped system, you WILL need to set unix permissions, symlinks and modes as these are NOT preserved in a zip file.

As far as calling scripts, something like this:

run_program PACKAGE:installbusybox.sh
[Atrix 4G General] Lazyboy006:
Does anyone know if using the Green Power app will conflict with settings in the default battery manager?

ie i have green power set to turn wireless off for 30min and then on for 2min.

but i also have my custom battery saver mode to completely turn data off during off-peak hours after 15min of inactivity.

I would like for Green Power to work under my battery saver mode. aka i want battery saver mode to take precedence.

thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] diablo009:
Its like making two bosses settle for one more one less. Might create conflicts. I use 'super power' to turn off wifi. But then don't use internal battery settings.
[Atrix 4G General] Lazyboy006:
yea i think im just going to mess around with both individually and see which one gives me better battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Green Power doesn't work that well on mine; wifi & data are toggled randomly, wifi stays on when screen is off, etc.

I was just mailing with the dev of Green app; he doesn't know either why it happens; ""Low level things like Mobile Data (and Wifi) are quite device specific. Which makes life harder for Android developers than iPhone developers..."".

Waiting for further response, will post here if anything changes..
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
whenever Green Power turns off my mobile data, it will stay off forever until i reboot. i can get calls and sms, but data will not work. turning off green power and cycling airplane mode doesn't work either.
[Atrix 4G General] Lazyboy006:
The same thing happened to me once, but after a reboot it has never happened again.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
wish i had the same luck. it's still doing it :(
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Considering the Atrix has a built in Battery Manager maybe if you set the built in one to the Max Performance where there is no restrictions then use a 3rd party battery manager?

It just seems there will be some conflicts.
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
Are any of you that are having this problem using widget locker? I was using widget locker on mine and GP couldn't recognize when the phone was unlocked... something to consider... I don't use it now (running Gingerblur) and GP works like a CHARM. One of the best apps on my phone
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
I use the internal battery manager only for the screen dimming when it hits a certain percent. Green Power does all the rest and I get killer battery life. I suggest you all do the same. Ditch the 3rd party launcher and set up Green Power with the settings listed in the battery thread.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
stock locker. GP has frustrated me now that i've stopped using it. the only way to get my data connection working again was to stop the program. even cycling airplane mode did nothing.
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
Running any weird power control widgets? I'm using the stock android power control for all of that nonsense and it works perfect. Maybe some widgetsoid/third party something isn't registering?

It's a shame, and I hope it starts working for you bc it really is a great thing.

Right now I'm at 1d 1h 32m 18s since unplugged.
[Atrix 4G General] fidorulz:
Ive had similar issues with green power on my N1 running CM7RC2.

I have noticed the issue seems to be linked to the Day and night mode Toggle if screen ON/Toggle if screen unlocked options

If these options are turned on then app may work for a while and then after some time data will just stay on and never turn off

If these options are off service will work for requested On/Off durations but wont turn data back on when screen is on or unlocked even if manually selecting to enable it.

I tried with this tasker rule set also but didn't seem to work

This is Darkys 9.3 with the guess work taken out of it for you.

Original I9000 post:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091

Known Issue on this and all I9000 2.2.1 for Vibrant ports:

When signal Drops @ -79dBm & below the signal Icon disappears.

This is much better than the alternative, which is that your phone soft reboots at -79 dBm!

This includes my latest "Super GPS"!

found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974702

I have trimmed it down from its original 250+ meg size.

Added working wifi.

Added working gps.

Added mounting.

Added fixed Gallery3D for lockscreen wallpaper - Works on Samsung unlock.

Added Eugenes fixed services.jar for this Rom.

Added: Bloater, Spareparts, SGS Tools, Rom Manager and Titanium Free.

Left settings so that Samsung Apps will give you 45 Updates now!

Replaced Update_Script as it included items not needed by our Vibrants.

If you don't already know, you will need to enable USB debugging to mount to your computer, otherwise it will default to kies mode.

This includes the KB1 modem and KA7 Voodoo kernel disabled by default.

Install:

It doesn't matter if you are coming from a fresh Odin or not, we want a clean install so follow the install steps.

Download Darkys_v9.3_Extreme_Edition.zip and place on your sdcard.

Boot into recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset Before You Move On.

Flash Darkys_v9.3_Extreme_Edition.zip.

While still in recovery: Wipe Cache Partition, and inside the advanced menu: Wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions - Just These Three Steps, Do Not Factory Reset Again. THIS TAKES YOU LESS THAN A MINUTE, DO IT OR DON'T BUT DON'T QUESTION IT - THIS PROCESS HAS PROVEN TO BE THE BEST GUARANTEE OF A SMOOTH FLASH.
